I've come across this (http://www.hostopia.com/demo01.php) site that claims WebsiteOS as their product. Hostopia bills itself as an outsourcing service. IOW your 30 days of free hosting is branded by Dotster (? See below), but the actual hosting is on Hostopia. Along those lines I decided to try a ping on several sites that use WebsiteOS. 

Pinging www.hostopia.com [216.251.32.98] with 32 bytes of data
Pinging www.web-group.com [216.251.32.98] with 32 bytes of data
Pinging www.websiteos.com [216.251.32.98] with 32 bytes of data
Pinging www.internethosting.com [216.251.33.34] with 32 bytes of data

Whois on 216.251.32.98 gives a NetRange of 216.251.32.0 - 216.251.47.255.

Dotster however:
Pinging www.dotster.com [64.85.73.21] with 32 bytes of data

Which is odd unless the hosting is not by Dotster.

I doubt that you'll be able to buy WebsiteOS for your own system.
